strong woras for Temperance.

In The Journal Of United Labor, Phila-
delphia, June 30th, over his own name,

The Tragedy of the Crater.

In the September Century are several ae-
counts by participants and eye-witnesses
of the Petersburg fight and the Tragedy
of the Crater. From Major w. III. PowelPs
paper we quote as follows: "Just as | ar
rived in the rear of the First Division the
mine was sprung. 1t was a magnificent
spectacle, and as the mass of earth went
up into the air, carrying with it men,
guns, carriages and timber, and spread out
like an immense cloud as it reached its
altitude, so close were the Union lines,
that the mass appeared as if it would
descend Immediately upon the troops
waiting to make the charge This caused
them to break and scatter to the rear, and
about ten minutes was consumed in re-
forming for the attack. Not much was
lost by this delay, however, as it took
nearly that time for the cloud of dust to
pass of. The order was then given for the
advance. AS no part of the Union line of
breastworks had been removed (which
would have been an arduous as well as a
hazardous undertaking. the troops clam
bered over them as best they could. This
in itself broke the ranks, and they did
not stop to. reform, but pushed ahead
towards the crater, about $50 yards dis
tant, the debris from the explosion having
covered up the abatis and the chevaux-de-
frise in front of the enemy's works.
Little did those men anticipate what
they would see upon arriving there; an
enormous hole in the ground about thirty
feet deep, 90 feet wide aud 10 feet long
filled with dust, great blocks of clay, guns,
broken carriages, projecting timbers, and
men buried in various ways-some up to
their necks, others to their waists, and
some with only their feet and legs protrud-
ing from the earth. One of those near me
was pulled out, and he proved to be Sec
ond Lieutenant of the battery which had
been blown up. The fresh air revived
him, and he was soon able to walk and talk
He was very grateful, and said that he was
asleep when the explosion took place, and
only awoke to find himself wiggling in the
air; then a few seconds afterwards he felt
himself descending, and soon lost conscious
ness"

Rriheru i'm Pitts Time.

One of the worst and most wasteful
forms of bribery that had grown up during
tine reign had been the custom of con-
tracing loans and issuing lottery tickets on
terms which were below the market value,
and then distributing shares or tickets
among the supporters of the Government.
The minister usually settled with few
select friends in the city the terms upon
which a proposed loan should be made,
and gave them lists of the friends who
were to be favored, with the specific sums
to be assigned to each. In one instance,
toward the end of the administration of
Lord North, the scrip was at premium
of el0 per cent. two days before the names
Of the subscribers were sent to the bank
from the Treasury. This abuse Pitt finally
terminated. When he desired to contract
loan he gave public notice in the city,
through the Bank of England, that he
would receive sealed proposals from all
who wished to send them; and in order to
guard against all Partially they were
opened in the presence of the Governor

Fruit Versus Pills.

Why should the American farmer live
all the year on salt pork and fried pota-
toes One of the earliest reeollections of
my life is the longing had to get into
city once in a while, so that | could eat
The average boy lives great deal in his
stomach. He has hearty unquestioning
appetite and in the spring and summer he
eats without hesitation anything that is
green. 1t is an instinct of his nature. He
needs the fruit for its juices, and the right
way to keep him from green stuff is to give
him plenty of good, ripe fruit. In my
boyhood on the farm, as above intimated,

and peaches with cream) were for city
people, while an occasional mess of stewed
currants, few blackberries gathered after

healthy appetite, if he gets tired munich

The Credit of LincoIn's Nomination,

On this subject Messrs Nicolay and Hay
say, in the September Century: "The
credit Of the nomination is claimed by many
men and by several delegations, but every
such claim is wholly fictitious Lincoln
was chosen not by personal intrigue, but
through political necessity. The Repub-
lican party was purely defensive organ
ization; the South had created the crisis
which the new party was compelled to
overcome. The ascendency of the free
States, not the personal fortunes Of Seward,
hung in the balance. Political victory at
the ballot-box or a vital transformation of
the institutions of Government was the
immediate alternative before the free
States.
Victory could only be secured by help
of the electoral votes of New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, Indiana and Illinois. 1t was
| therefore simple problem What candi-
date could carry these States? None could
| answer this question 50 well as their own
delegates, and these, when Intercepted,
still further reduced the problem by the
| reply that whoever else could, Seward GER
tainly could not. These four States lay on
j the border land next to the South and to
slavery. Institutions inevitably mold
pubic sentiment; and certain tenderness
toward the property of neighbors and
| friends infected their people. They shrunk
from the reproach of being 'abolitionized'
They would vote for conservative Repub-
lican; but Seward and radcalism and
higher law would bring them inevitable
defeat.
"Who, then, could carry these doubtful
and pivotal States This second branch
of the question also found its ready an
swer. The contest in these States would
not be Territorial slave code, but against
popular sovereignty not with Buchanan's
candidates. but with Douglas and for
Douglas there was only single antagonist,
tried and true-Abraham Lincoln. Such,
we may reasonably infer, was the substance
of the discussion and argument which ran
through the caucus. rooms Of the delegates,
day and night, during the 10Th and 18th
of Nav"

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.
A Practicable and Beneficial System Of
Public Bafha.

4
! In an address on preventive medicine,
Association, DR.. G. H. Robe calls special
attention to the subject of public baths.
Large pools in which many persons battle
at once, fail to answer the requirements of
sanitary science or public decency. AS an
illustration Of the practicabi,ity and prac-
teal benefits to be derived from the adop-
ton of system of individual baths he
mentions the white lead works at Ehren-
field, where the employed are required to
battle weekly, the facilities being furnished
by the proprietor. In the first year, 1884,
the sickness was reduced 90 per cent, and
in 1885 it was reduced still lower, so per
cent. In certain dye works in Berlin,
ten rooms, containing shower baths,
have been provided for workmen
and their families, and for all who
desire to use them. In Gottingen,
with population of 21,00O, of
which number 5000 are children who at
tend the public schools, baths are fitted up
in the basement of one of the schoCl-houses.
A class of fifty can battle in an hour.
Each child has the opportunity of bathing
once in two weeks, and IS per cent of the
children avail themselves of it. The
authorities and teachers are unanimous
upon the point that the system is of great
benefit to the children, not only from its
direct sanitary advantage, but from the
habits of cleanliness formed, to which they
are likely to adhere through life The
only cities in the United States having
public baths are Boston, with II New
York, Is; Philadelphia, ); Brooklyn, 8;
Cleveland and Hartford each | and
Buffalo, the number not given. In New
York 8, 42l, OS6 persons bathed from June
to October in 1885, during the same time
in Boston, 59,765, and in Brooklyn, 225,
$50. In eighteen cities where there are
no public baths, only about % per cent. of
the residences are supplied with bath tubs.

Process of Fruit Preserving.

About Christmas time in 1885 people in
San Francisco were astonished to see fresh
peaches, pears and grapes, with all their
natural bloom, and looking plump and
Juicy, on exhibition in the windows of
confectionery stores on Kearny and Suffer
streets. These fruits attracted great at
tention, and remained ON exhibition sew
eral weeks, showing the preventative agent
employed, whatever it might be, was sin
gularly powerful in resisting the natural
decay When tasted or smelled of, the
fruit showed no popularity that could lead
to discovery of the secret of the mys-
FERROUS process All that could be learned
about it was the discovery and the property
of |. Allegretti, who lived in West Berke-
lev and had II fruit warehouse at that
place.
1t appears now that the invention is at
last to be made a practical success on a
large scale. The Allegretti Green Fruit
Treatment and Storage System Company,
with the main etorehouse at West Berke
ley, announce that they are now ready to
store and treat all kinds of green articles,
by the week or month, and for shipment
East. l. Allegretti, the inventor of this
system, stated that he had been expert
meDting with various processes for pre-
serving green fruit for twenty-six years
and had succeeded in discovering this
system, whose success has been demon
s:rated to the fruit-growers of this State
He was proud to say that he had accom-
plished what the people have been wishing
for.
The building in use at present is a
frame structure, capable of storing some
fifty tons of fruit. The inner lining of the
walls is galvanized iron. There is no ma
chinery used, and the only thing visible is
large tank, supposed to contain the chem
ical preparation. The arrangements are SC
made as to give an even temperature of 81
degrees. The atmosphere is dry but de-
cidedly chilly. Mr.. Allegretti says that
fruit can be preserved in a fresh state fol-
months in this warehouse, and after ter
DAYS can be taken out and shipped to New
York, South America or Europe in per
feet state Of Experimentation En-
